User blog:Denrael Sabretooth/The Red Mist RPG (Rebooted)

NOTE: This is my first time in a few years running something like this. If there is anything I can do or improve upon, please feel free to let me know.

Story
A red mist has enveloped Mossflower. War is coming. The Bloodwrath has found its way into both the minds and hearts of other creatures. There are few left who do not enjoy violence. Bloodshed is now common. In Redwall alone, there is a murder almost every week. Salamandastron is the worst, with a murder happening almost every day. With this level of violence, the Long Patrol had to be entirely dismissed, and the whole system of honor and brotherhood collapsed on itself. This has been the most fatal blow to Mossflower since the sudden spread of the Bloodwrath. Some creatures, such as Werschet and Lilia, are determined to find a way to stop it, even if it takes many days and nights of hardship. Is there a cure for this disease of the mind, or will Mossflower tear itself apart?

Rules
1. Follow the Redwall Wars Wikia Protocol. (https://redwallwars.fandom.com/wiki/Redwall_Wars_Wiki_Protocol)

2. No invincibility. (The Bloodwrath may enhance your character's resistance to damage, but you are not invincible.)

3. No godmodding or metagaming. (Your character has physical limits, and they should not know the things that you, as a player, do.)

4. No killing another player's character without that player's permission. (This goes for me, the narrator, as well, so feel free to call me out on it if I do.)

5. No insulting another player directly. (Insulting inside of the actual game, done by the player characters, is allowed.)

6. Have fun with it!

Unplayable Characters
Werschet and the Mossflower Patrol

Gender: Male

Species: River Otter

Age: 26 seasons

Origin: River Moss

Appearance: Werschet is larger than most river otters of his age, and his face has clearly seen multiple battles, visible scars running through the fur around his cheeks and forehead. Despite this, his expressions usually convey a homely feeling to those around him. The tip of his rudder has a notch cut out of it, and half of his left ear is missing, presumably both caused by some unknown creature.

Clothing: He wears a khaki tunic over the mail hauberk that serves as his protection from vermin and enraged woodlanders alike, a leather belt holding them in place around his waist. A patched hood has been poorly sewn onto the back of his tunic.

Weaponry: He utilizes a long axe that also serves as a walking staff, but for emergencies he also carries a sharp stiletto dagger in his belt.

Personality: Despite his tendencies towards anger in the face of threats, he has always had a soft spot for little ones and can have a "spittin' oul' time" during celebrations. Usually, though, he is quiet, polite, and out of the way.

Background/History: As a pup, Werschet was affected by the Bloodwrath, but unlike many others, he survived the initial sudden spread of the disease and shook it off. His childhood was horrific, spent watching his family murder each other over the smallest of things, and he became determined from then on to save everyone who suffered from the Bloodwrath. After the collapse of the Long Patrol, he founded the Mossflower Patrol to ward off vermin threats and to protect Mossflower from itself.

Affiliation: Mossflower Patrol

Lilia

Gender: Female

Species: Red Squirrel

Age: 39 seasons

Origin: Northern Mossflower

Appearance: Lilia is small, compared to other squirrels, and she has a warm and welcoming face. On the back of her left leg, there is a patch of fur missing, though it usually goes unnoticed.

Clothing: She wears a purple, homespun tunic with golden trim around the sleeves, collar, and hem, which gives her the appearance of royalty. Holding it in place is a leather belt fastened around her waist.

Weaponry: Most of the time, she only carries a ladle or a frying pan, but whenever she knows she is going into dangerous territory, she uses a small dirk that was passed down to her from her mother.

Personality: Known to be quick to kindness and slow to anger, she has gained a reputation as one of the calmest and most patient beasts in Mossflower. Cracks in her facade can only be seen whenever she is dealing with particularly stubborn vermin, and her attitude can sometimes stray more towards toughness when faced with adversity.

Background/History: When she was just a child, Lilia's mother passed away, leaving her to fend for herself in the cold and harsh northern winter. With only a dirk to defend herself and limited supplies, she managed to survive, learning to live off of the land. When the first wave of Bloodwrath hit Mossflower, she immediately made the decision to help those who could not help themselves, trying her best to accommodate as many beasts as she could. Shortly after the Mossflower Patrol was founded, she joined up with it to further her efforts, and she has "risen through the ranks" to become one of Werschet's most highly favored advisors.

Affiliation: Mossflower Patrol

Cooke and the Disbanded Long Patrol

Gender: Male

Species: Hare

Age: 37 seasons

Origin: Salamandastron

Appearance: Cooke is a plainly average hare, the brown fur covering most of his body contrasting starkly with the white fur making up the insides of his legs, his chest, his neck, and the lower half of his face.

Clothing: He wears the typical uniform on the Long Patrol, despite the fact that they were disbanded, a dark green tunic with buttons and a collar, epaulettes on his shoulders denoting his rank of colonel. His tunic is held in place by a leather belt and a bandolier across his chest.

Weaponry: He carries a sharp steel rapier and a small dagger.

Personality: A toughened veteran of the former Long Patrol, he does not take lightly to vermin, nor does he tolerate dissention among those who still follow him. Like most hares, he has an abounding love of food, and he is expertly trained in the art of war.

Background/History: Cooke was born and raised in Salamandastron, trained up to become one of the finest soldiers in the Long Patrol. He was always favored among his peers for his willingness to follow orders and his expertise with the sword, so his becoming an officer was expected among the inhabitants of the mountain. When the Bloodwrath swept across Salamandastron, he was one of the few unaffected by the disease, and he was mortified by the staggering amount of death that occured. With the Long Patrol disbanding, he took a small contigency of hares that he trusted wholeheartedly and led them away from the mountain, seeking refuge in Mossflower.
